Christine O’Donnell and Progressive Fantasies

Way back in 2010, Christine O’Donnell ran for the United States Senate for the State of Delaware. O’Donnell was a tea party favorite and became the target of some fantastic stories at the hand of her opponents.

One of those stories was about a tax lien on her home. It was alleged that she wasn’t all that bright and couldn’t manage her own finances. And to top it off she hadn’t paid her taxes. Why should such a person hold a position of authority? It didn’t matter that the lien was not real. She lost the race.

More information about that lien is trickling out now. O’Donnell recently got a call from an investigator at the Treasury Department to tell her that some official from the State of Delaware had accessed her tax records improperly. The date of that access was March 9, 2010.

Coincidentally, that was the same date that O’Donnell announced she was running for the Senate. Wow, small world, huh? But if that’s not enough for you, March 9, 2010 was also the date that the IRS placed the tax lien (for the home she no longer owned and didn’t owe any taxes on) into Ms. O’Donnell’s records.

What are the odds?

A Delaware official says the investigation into O’Donnell’s tax records was done properly, and says it was done on March 20, not March 9. But he can’t provide any evidence or additional information as all their records of the event have already been destroyed.

I’ll give you a minute for that one.

We’ve learned in recent months that the IRS has engaged in a systematic effort to use its power to undermine the most basic rights of conservative Americans by way of denying and delaying tax exempt status for any groups associated with conservative values. Now it appears the abuse runs deeper than we imagined.

Let’s engage in our own fantastic story for a moment. Fast forward a bit to the presidential race in 2016. Obamacare is in full swing and, as planned, the IRS has access to all our medical records. Their abuse of power continues unchecked.

The Republican Party has chosen Margaret O’Malley as their candidate. She’s a rock-solid conservative and the first female ever in such a position. With just weeks to go until Election Day, O’Malley is leading and looks headed to be the next President of The United States.

On an otherwise average Monday morning, the headline of the New York Times screams that O’Malley is mentally unstable. The story reveals that The Times has obtained a copy of her medical records showing her history of being institutionalized for depression and drug abuse. The associated criminal offenses are hinted at. There are also records of treatment for a variety of STDs and a listing of multiple abortions – from the pro-life candidate.

O’Malley steps to the microphones and claims innocence of each and every charge, but she is unable to overcome the media frenzy. She drops in the polls like a brick and is beaten by the Democrat Party candidate in a landslide. Her reputation is left in ruins.

A couple of months later, as the new president is about to be inaugurated, The Times prints a retraction in two tiny paragraphs on page 32, below the fold. They reveal that the IRS accidentally attached the medical records of another person to those of Ms. O’Malley. Oops. They still refuse to reveal the identity of the person who leaked O’Malley’s records to them. The Justice Department quietly drops the investigation.

Do you think that story is too fantastic? I don’t. I think it’s right where we are headed. Our government has been ruling against the wishes of the people for quite a long time already. And now they are shutting the door behind them. They are guaranteeing their power never be challenged by letting in only those who they trust.

Question them, challenge them or expose them and you’ll find the power they have claimed for themselves come down on you in a way you simply cannot defend. If they can’t find anything “usefull” to discredit an opponent, they will simply make it up. They’ve been doing it for years by way of innuendo. Now they simply have to turn to their pals, conveniently positioned in the maze of bureaucracy they have created, to obtain “real” evidence for whatever fantasy they require.

The IRS is a political tool used by politicians as a political weapon. We must take that political tool away from them.

It is apparent that being a free American is turning out to be work. We as citizens can no longer be so casual and take our responsibilities as free Americans lightly. One important responsibility is to become involved and make some intelligent choices at the ballot box.

Another opportunity that is at hand is to abolish the IRS, get rid of the tax code, and replace our method of tax collection with a consumption tax. There is no need for the government to know what any citizens income is.

Revenue to run the government could easily be collected at the cash register and everyone would pay their fair share. From the homeless guy buying a cup of coffee to John Kerry buying a seven million dollar sailboat. Everyone would pay their fair share.

Unfortunately, cebur19, the very people who gain political power through the IRS are the ones who control the means by which we could abolish the IRS. They will never do it, any more than they will vote for term limits. Even more unfortunately is the fact that they are, for the most part, immune from the electorate because the majority of the electorate are ill informed, low information, or single issue, voters. All too often, the members of Congress campaign on one side of an issue, then vote on the other side, with impunity.

Carter is right. We have lost our (democratic republic). It’s best summarized by this Will Durant quote:

“The political machine triumphs because it is a united minority acting against a divided majority.”

To add to my previous comments, imagine Marco Rubio voting for term limits which would only allow him one more term as a Florida Senator. Sure, he has his sights on the White House, but that may not pan out. Then what? Run for governor? Become a lobbyist? My point is obvious. He has no credentials to do anything but be a politician. And that, quite simply, is the major problem with our political system. We have far too many Marco Rubios, not only in Washington, but in Tallahassee as well.

What amazes me is how little interest the press has in the IRS story. I knew, watching how Christine O’Donnell was treated, that the effort was coordinated. The funny thing, with liberals, you just can’t tell if there was a leader to the coordination or they just jumped on the bandwagon. My guess is that, you have an IRS story, like the tax lien, then a Bill Maher says he has some footage from when she was 19, then the nightly news muddies the waters by asking questions about the tax liens and the witchcraft and, voila Christine O’Donnell is no longer a viable candidate.

If you don’t believe that someone like Stephanie Cutter wouldn’t be willing to pull this off, there’s a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. If they can make the IRS a phony scandal, there’s little hope for this country and it’s time to clean house, everywhere.
